Where's Our University?
Hull University! Its great. And it would be - except half the "campus" is in Scarborough, about an hours drive away. So anyone living in Hull browsing the university's prospectus gets a nice surprise when they think they can just travel down the road.
How can they justify that? Surely it's two seperate universities. Of course, they join up with what presumably used to be called Scarborough University, and can then offer double the courses without spending an extra penny! I pity any non-drivers however, who look at their courses, think it all sounds good, and then realises that somehow they will have to get to Scarborough every day. Without knowing which "campus" any particular course is at makes looking at the prospectus pointless. And with codes like "Campus S", its not immediately obvious.
